Since the porous insulating layer suppresses the permeation of lithium ions at the time of melting, and furthermore, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage, the gas generating agent is decomposed and gas is thus generated, there is no need to contain a cathode active material; however, a conductive auxiliary agent and the like may be contained in a case in which the surface of the electrode is coated in order to improve battery characteristics during a normal operation.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No.
2017-66794 filed March 30, 2017 - The present invention relates to a lithium ion secondary battery including a porous insulating layer between an electrode and a separator.
- In recent years, lithium ion secondary batteries have been widely used as power sources for electronic devices such as portable phones, notebook personal computers, and the like, electric vehicles, power storages, or the like. Particularly, in recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing demand for a battery with a high capacity, a high power, and a high energy density, which can be mounted in a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. In spite of the advantage of a high energy density, the lithium ion secondary battery is required to provide a sufficient measure for safety because lithium metal and a non-aqueous electrolyte are used.
- For example, a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an anode in which an anode active material layer is formed on a current collector and a cathode in which a cathode active material layer is formed on the current collector, in which a porous protective film having a thickness of from 0.1 to 200 µm is formed on any one surface of the anode active material layer or the cathode active material layer. An active material to be generated until an electrode is stored in a battery can after an active material layer is formed is prevented from falling off and re-adhered by the protective film formed on the surface of the active material layer. Therefore, an internal short-circuit of the battery caused by the active material re-adhered on the surface of the electrode can be prevented, such that the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having high reliability and safety can be obtained.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a method of manufacturing a lithium ion secondary battery including a step of forming a cathode mixture layer by coating a surface of a cathode current collector with a cathode paste containing a cathode active material and water and a step of forming a porous insulating film by coating a surface of the cathode mixture layer with an insulating paste containing an inorganic oxide filler and an organic solvent, in which the cathode active material contains a composite oxide containing lithium and nickel, and a molar ratio of Ni to Li contained in the composite oxide is 60 mol% or less.

3371301 - Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (
JP-A) No. 2010-21113 - However, the porous protective film described in Patent Document 1 can suppress the falling off of the active material from the electrode at the time of producing a battery and prevent the generation of the internal short-circuit, but Patent Document 1 does not disclose that a heat generation suppression effect in a case in which an internal short-circuit occurs, such as a nailing test, a crushing test, or an overcharge test. In addition, the lithium ion secondary battery with a high power and a high capacity by suppressing a failure in a case of forming the porous insulating film on the surface of the cathode mixture layer is also provided in the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 2, but Patent Document 2 does not clearly disclose a heat generation suppression effect at the time of the internal short-circuit of the battery.
- An object of the invention is to suppress heat generation at the time of an internal short-circuit of a battery by forming a porous insulating layer between an electrode and a separator.
- According to an embodiment of the invention, there is provided a lithium ion secondary battery including: a current collector; an electrode including a cathode or an anode that is provided on at least one surface of the current collector; a separator that separates the cathode and the anode from each other; a porous insulating layer that is formed between the electrode and the separator; and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The porous insulating layer is formed of a binding material containing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a melting point lowering agent. The melting point lowering agent lowers one or more of a melting start temperature or a melting peak temperature of the binding material, which is measured by differential scanning calorimetry under coexistence with the non-aqueous electrolyte, as compared to a case of using only polyvinylidene fluoride The binding material may be a copolymer of a vinylidene fluoride monomer and another fluorine-containing monomer or an oxygen-containing monomer, instead of the mixture of the PVDF and the melting point lowering agent.
- In the lithium ion secondary battery of the invention, it is possible to suppress heat generation at the time of the internal short-circuit of the battery by forming the porous insulating layer between the electrode and the separator.

First, a structure of an electrode layer including a cathode and an anode constituting an electrode element, and a separator is described with reference to the drawings, and then respective constituent members of a battery are described in detail.
-
Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an electrode layer of lithium ion secondary battery according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown inFig. 1 , anelectrode layer 10 of the embodiment includes acathode mixture layer 15 coated on one surface of a cathodecurrent collector 16, aseparator 13, and ananode mixture layer 12 coated on a surface of an anodecurrent collector 11. In addition, aporous insulating layer 14 is formed between theseparator 13 and thecathode mixture layer 15 so that a surface of the separator positioned on a side of the cathode mixture layer is covered. - The
porous insulating layer 14 is formed of a binding material containing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binding component and a melting point lowering agent or a copolymer of a vinylidene fluoride monomer and another fluorine-containing monomer or an oxygen-containing monomer (hereinafter, also referred to as a "PVDF copolymer"), and may optionally contain an inorganic oxide filler and/or a gas generating agent, if necessary. Theporous insulating layer 14 bonds theseparator 13 and thecathode mixture layer 15 to each other but does not inhibit permeation of lithium ions through theseparator 13. However, in a case in which a temperature of the battery suddenly rises due to an internal short-circuit, theporous insulating layer 14 is melted at a melting temperature of theseparator 13 or lower, such that at least a portion of the porous shape is closed and the permeation of lithium ions in an electrolytic solution is inhibited. A melting temperature of the binding material may be lower than the melting temperature of the separator, and it is preferable to start melting, for example, in a temperature range of approximately 70°C to approximately 100°C. - In order to reliably operate a pressure detection type current interrupt device (CID) (not shown), it is preferable that gas generation from the
porous insulating layer 14 is promoted when exceeding a predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of 4.5 V or more). In a case in which the porous insulating layer contains an inorganic oxide filler, a carbonate solvent is decomposed by the kind or physical properties (specific surface area or particle diameter) thereof during a high temperature storage and under a high voltage condition and gas may thus be generated. For example, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of 4.5 V or more), the inorganic filler contained in the porousinsulating layer 14 decomposes a non-aqueous electrolytic solution (carbonic ester) and gas is thus generated. The gas generating compound is preferably hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide. - In a further preferred embodiment, by adding a gas generating agent to the
porous insulating layer 14, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of from 4.8 V to 5.0 V), the gas generating agent is decomposed and gas is thus generated. The gas generating agent is preferably a compound which generates carbon dioxide (CO2). By adding the gas generating compound to the non-aqueous electrolytic solution, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of 4.5 V or more), the gas generating agent is decomposed and gas is thus generated. The gas generating compound is preferably hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide. - A thickness of the
porous insulating layer 14 may be enough that the permeation of lithium ions can be inhibited at the time of melting, and is, for example, from 0.1 µm to 10 µm and preferably 5 µm or less. At the thickness of less than 0.1 µm, the permeation of lithium ions may not be sufficiently inhibited at the time of abnormal heat generation, and a heat generation suppression function may not be certainly exhibited. In a case in which the thickness is greater than 10 µm, even the resistance at the normal time is high, resulting in deterioration of battery characteristics at a high rate. The thickness of theporous insulating layer 14 may be, for example, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, or 10 µm. -
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of anelectrode layer 20 according to another embodiment. In theelectrode layer 20 shown inFig. 2 , only a configuration in which aporous insulating layer 24 is interposed between acathode mixture layer 25 and aseparator 23 is different from the configuration shown inFig. 1 . That is, in the embodiment, the porousinsulating layer 24 is formed so that a surface of thecathode mixture layer 25 in contact with theseparator 23 is covered, but the other configurations are the same as the electrode layer shown inFig. 1 . - In another embodiment, the porous insulating layer may be formed between the separator and the anode mixture layer (not shown), but it is preferable that the porous insulating layer is present between the cathode mixture layer and the separator in terms of effectively suppressing the permeation of lithium ions at the time of the internal short-circuit. Since the porous insulating layer suppresses the permeation of lithium ions at the time of melting, and furthermore, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage, the gas generating agent is decomposed and gas is thus generated, there is no need to contain a cathode active material; however, a conductive auxiliary agent and the like may be contained in a case in which the surface of the electrode is coated in order to improve battery characteristics during a normal operation. In the specification, a porous insulating layer provided on the surface of the cathode mixture layer may be referred to as an "overcoat layer".
- Regarding a mechanism in which the binding material in the porous insulating layer is melted at the melting temperature of the separator or lower, it is considered based on the fact that a melting point of PVDF which is a main component of the binding material is lowered by containing the melting point lowering agent and/or the PVDF copolymer in the binding material.
- Regarding a mechanism in which gas is generated from the porous insulating layer, it is considered based on the fact that, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage, the gas generating agent is decomposed and gas is thus generated by containing the gas generating agent in the porous insulating layer.
- Furthermore, it is considered based on the fact that, when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage, the carbonate solvent is decomposed and gas is thus generated by containing the inorganic filler in the porous insulating layer.
- Hereinafter, respective components constituting the electrode layers (10 and 20) of
Figs. 1 and2 are described in order. - Examples of a form of the
separators - Each of the porous insulating
layers - The porous insulating layer promotes gas generation in order to promote an operation of a pressure detection type current interrupt device when exceeding a predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of 4.5 V or more).
- The binding material contains polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binding component and a melting point lowering agent and/or a PVDF copolymer. The binding component is required to have adhesion to current collect metal, which is achieved by the present of a polar group in the binding component. In addition, the binding component needs to have sufficient flexibility to handle an electrode, and to correspond to a dimensional variation of an active material during a charge and discharge cycle. The binding component needs to provide specific electrochemical properties and to be compatible with a non-aqueous electrolytic solution to be used.
- Mechanical characteristics and electrochemical characteristics of PVDF are suitable for the several purposes required for the binding component. Although it is reported that a melting point of PVDF alone is approximately 180°C, it is considered that the melting point thereof is slightly lowered because it is in contact with a non-aqueous electrolyte in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery. By containing the melting point lowering agent, the binding material of the embodiment is melted when the temperature of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery rises, and a resistance of the conductive layer is increased, such that thermal runaway of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery can be suppressed. From the viewpoint of suppressing thermal runaway, a melting start temperature of the binding material is preferably low, but in a case in which the melting start temperature is too low, a function of the binding material is inhibited, which is not preferable. Therefore, the melting start temperature of the binding material is preferably from approximately 50°C to approximately 150°C, more preferably from approximately 60°C to approximately 130°C, and still more preferably from approximately 70°C to approximately 100°C.
- A melting peak temperature (melting point) of the binding material may be also lowered as the melting start temperature of the binding material is lowered. The melting peak temperature of the binding material is preferably from 70°C to 130°C under the measurement conditions. The melting peak temperature of the binding material is preferably 70°C or higher from the viewpoint of thermal stability. Meanwhile, the melting point of the binding material is preferably 130°C or lower from the viewpoint of stability. The melting point of the binding material is more preferably lower than 130°C, still more preferably 120°C or lower, and further still more preferably 110°C or lower.
- In the embodiment, the "melting point lowering agent" and/or the "PVDF copolymer" refers to a component which melts the porous insulating layer at a lower temperature than the separator by lowering the melting start temperature and/or the melting peak temperature of PVDF. It is considered that a gas generating function is promoted in the case in which the porous insulating layer contains the inorganic oxide filler or the gas generating agent. It is considered that alumina used as the inorganic oxide filler may promote oxidative decomposition of carbonate contained as an electrolytic solution, and furthermore, the oxidative decomposition is promoted in a case in which lithium carbonate and the like is used as the gas generating agent. These actions are exerted when the battery voltage exceeds a predetermined value (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of from 4.8 V to 5.0 V). However, since a potential of the cathode mixture layer is not uniformly distributed, differs in a thickness direction of the cathode mixture layer, and increases toward a surface thereof, the porous insulating layer of the embodiment can be positioned at an interface between the cathode mixture layer and the separator to quickly detect an increase in battery potential. Such a function is preferably exhibited by lowering the melting start temperature and/or the melting peak temperature of the binding material. Therefore, the melting start temperature and/or the melting peak temperature of the binding material of the embodiment is lower than that in case of using only normal PVDF.
- Accordingly, the binding material of the embodiment may be selected from the one which lowers one or more of a melting start temperature or a melting peak temperature of the mixture of PVDF as a binding component and a melting point lowering agent and/or a PVDF copolymer, which is measured by differential scanning calorimetry under coexistence of a non-aqueous electrolyte, as compared to a case of using only PVDF, which is measured under the same conditions. In the embodiment, the melting start temperature means a temperature at which heat absorption to be analyzed by a differential scanning calorimetry (hereinafter, also referred to as DSC) rises from the baseline, and generally can be measured in accordance with JIS 7121 (a method of measuring plastic transition temperature). For more clarity, the melting start temperature may be a temperature at which 10%, about 20%, or about 50% of heat absorption of a top peak of a heat absorption peak is observed. Alternatively, a heat absorption amount due to melting of the binding material is calculated from a peak area of a DSC curve, and a temperature corresponding to approximately half of the total heat absorption amount may be taken as an index of the melting start temperature. This is because the heat absorption starts from a lower temperature since the melting start temperature of the binding material is decreased, and the binding material is melted when reaches a certain absorption amount.
- For example, a device such as high sensitivity type differential scanning calorimeter DSC7000X manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation is used. PVDF and a melting point lowering agent are dissolved in an organic solvent or are mixed in a powder form as it is in a mortar or the like, approximately 5 mg of the dried powder is placed in an aluminum pan, and then a non-aqueous electrolyte is added to the aluminum pan, thereby obtaining a sample. The non-aqueous electrolyte added to the sample is preferably an electrolytic solution in which a lithium salt containing at least LiPF6 as an electrolyte is dissolved in an organic solvent selected from cyclic carbonate or linear carbonate singly, or a solvent mixture in which a plurality of kinds thereof is combined. In the embodiment, a non-aqueous electrolyte obtained by dissolving 1 M of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in a mixed solution in which a ratio of ethylene carbonate (EC) to ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is 3:7 is used. As the measurement conditions, for example, a temperature rises from room temperature to approximately 200°C at 5°C/min. It can be determined by the heat absorption curve obtained at this time.
- The melting point lowering agent is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of lowering the melting start temperature and the melting peak temperature of PVDF used as the binding component. However, a compound having a compatibility (suitable) with PVDF which is a crystalline polymer can be used, and preferably a crystalline or amorphous polymer compound can be used for the material of the PTC function-imparting component. In the specification, the term "compatibility" refers to a state in which two different materials, in particular, polymers are uniformly mixed, and these materials may be completely compatible or may be partially compatible with each other. It is possible to determine as to whether the sample is uniformly mixed by confirming that the sample after mixing is transparent or has a film forming ability. For example, the PTC function-imparting component is a compound containing a carbonyl group or a cyano group. A carbonyl group has a structure of -C(=O)-, and an oxygen atom has electronegativity much higher than a carbon atom, such that electrons of C=O bond are biased in the vicinity of the oxygen atom with high electronegativity than in the vicinity of the electrically positive carbon atom. Similarly, a cyano group has a triple structure between a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom, has electrons biased on the nitrogen atom, and is a strong electron-attracting group. One or more of carbonyl groups or cyano groups may be contained, and, for example, a dione compound containing two carbonyl groups can be contained in the PTC function-imparting component of the invention.
- In general, it has been known that, in a case in which a crystalline polymer compound has compatibility with an amorphous polymer compound, a melting point of the crystalline polymer compound is lowered. The factor which has the greatest influence on the lowering of the melting point is a thermodynamic parameter χ12 value representing strength of an interaction between both polymers, and is derived by Flory-Huggins theory. Based on the theory, it is considered that, in a compatible crystalline/amorphous polymer blend system, a melting point is lowered in a case in which the χ12 value represents a negative value. In a preferred embodiment, the compatible material is a crystalline or amorphous polymer containing a carboxyl group (-COOH), carboxylic acid ester (-COO-R), a carbonate group (R-O-(C=O)-O-R'), an imide group (R-CONHCO-R'), or an amide group (R-C=ONH-R').
- In the embodiment, it is considered that, although the specific reason that the melting point lowering agent formed of such a compatible material lowers the melting point of PVDF is not clear, additives thereof have an electrical property (polarity) derived from a carbonyl group or a cyano group, resulting in enhancing the interaction with PDVF and exhibiting the melting point lowering action.
- Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, the melting point lowering agent is one selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid (AAc), methacrylic acid (MAc), barbituric acid (BTA), acetylacetone, methyl polyacrylate (PMA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), polybutylene succinate (PBS), polycarbonate (PC), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyamide (PA), polyimide (PI), and polyamide imide (PAI), and a derivative (a copolymer) thereof.
- As methacrylic acid ester having good compatibility with PVDF, examples of a compound can include the following: methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, octyl methacrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, methoxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxyethyl methacrylate, n-butoxyethyl methacrylate, isobutoxyethyl methacrylate, t-butoxyethyl methacrylate, phenoxyethyl methacrylate, nonyl phenoxyethyl methacrylate, 3-methoxybutyl methacrylate, Blemmer PME-100 (product name, manufactured by NOF CORPORATION), and Blemmer PME-200 (product name, manufactured by NOF CORPORATION).
- Among the methacrylic acid esters, from the viewpoint of easiness to obtain them and compatibility with PVDF, the followings are preferably used. Methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate are preferable, and methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, and t-butyl methacrylate are more preferable. A vinyl monomer may be used singly, or in combination of two or more kinds thereof.
- In addition, as fluoroalkyl methacrylate, a compound can be preferably used as follows: 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl methacrylate, 2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl methacrylate, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl α-fluoroacrylate, 2,2,3,3-tetra fluoropropyl α-fluoroacrylate, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl α-fluoroacrylate, and 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl α-fluoroacrylate.
- In the embodiment of the invention, the melting point lowering agent may contain amide, imide or maleimide.
- Amide is particularly preferable primary amide, and examples thereof include N-vinylamide, divinylamide, silyl(vinyl)amide, and glyoxylated vinylamide.
- A specific example of imide includes divinylimide such as N-vinylimide, N-vinylphthalimide, and vinylacetamide.
- Examples of maleimide include monomaleimide, bismaleimide, trismaleimide, and polymaleimide.
- Specific examples of bismaleimide can include N,N'-bismaleimide-4,4'-diphenylmethane, 1,1'-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bismaleimide, N,N'-(1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-)diyl)bismaleimide, N,N'-(4-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bismaleimide, 1,1'-(3,3'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bismaleimide, N,N'-ethylene dimaleimide, N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)dimaleimide, N,N'-(1,3-phenylene)dimaleimide, N,N'-thiodimaleimide, N,N'-dithiodimaleimide, N,N'-ketone dimaleimide, N,N'-methylene bismaleimide, bismaleimidomethyl-ether, 1,2-bismaleimide-1,2-ethanediol, N,N'-4,4'-diphenylether-bismaleimide, and 4,4'-bismaleimide-diphenylsulfone.
- In the embodiment of the invention, the melting point lowering agent may contain amide, imide or maleimide.
- A content of the melting point lowering agent and/or PVDF copolymer contained in the binding material is preferably from 1 to 50 % by mass, more preferably from 2 to 40 % by mass, and still more preferably from 5 to 30 % by mass. In a case in which the content of the melting point lowering agent is less than 1 % by mass, the melting point lowering action of the binding component is small, and in a case in which the content of the PTC function-imparting component is more than 50 % by mass, a binding force of the binding material with the electrode active material may be deteriorated.
- The binding material of the embodiment is preferably prepared as a mixture obtained by dissolving a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binding component and a melting point lowering agent and/or PVDF copolymer in a common solvent which dissolves both components, performing solvent substitution, and then precipitating the solvent. This is because the binding material prepared by this method exists in a state in which the binding component and the melting point lowering agent are uniformly mixed at a molecular level.
- In another embodiment, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a melting point lowering agent and/or PVDF copolymer may be mixed by a powder mixer such as a ball mill or a rocking mixer or a known crusher to prepare a powdery mixture. This is because the powdery mixture is easily uniformed in a solvent and used as a binding material when preparing an electrolytic solution or an electrode mixture layer.
- The melting point lowering agent may be a copolymer of a vinylidene fluoride monomer and another fluorine-containing monomer or an oxygen-containing monomer. Examples of the other fluorine-containing monomer include vinyl fluoride, 3-fluoropropylene, and fluoroalkyl vinyl ether, and an example of the oxygen-containing monomer includes ethylene glycol. The PTC function-imparting component is preferably a poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) or a poly(vinylidene fluoride-oxyethylene) (PVDF-PEO). In a case in which the melting point lowering agent is a copolymer thereof, a content of the copolymer contained in the binding material is preferably more than 50 % by mass, and is preferably from 1 to 75 % by mass.
- Alternatively, in another embodiment, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) copolymer containing PVDF which is a binding component and a melting point lowering agent in a molecule may be used as a binding material. In this case, it is preferable that one or more of a melting start temperature or a melting peak temperature of the PVDF copolymer, under coexistence of a non-aqueous electrolyte, is lowered as compared to a case of using only the PVDF which is a homopolymer of vinylidene fluoride. For example, the melting start temperature and/or the melting peak temperature of the PVDF copolymer is preferably from 45°C to 110°C, and more preferably from 50°C to 100°C. As such a PVDF copolymer, PVDF-HFP (hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)), and the like can be used.
- The melting start temperature and/or the melting peak temperature can be adjusted to a desired temperature by mixing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a PVDF copolymer.
- The porous insulating layer further preferably contains an inorganic oxide filler. As the inorganic oxide filler, aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3 or γ-Al2O3), aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), boehmite (AlOOH), magnesia (magnesium oxide: MgO), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), zirconia (ZrO2), titania (TiO2), silica (SiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN), or the like is used. These materials may be used singly, or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. The shape of the inorganic oxide filler is not limited, and various shapes such as a spherical shape, a needle shape, an elliptical shape, a plate shape, and a scale-like shape can be used. In addition, an average particle diameter of the inorganic oxide fillers is not particularly limited, and is preferably from 0.01 to 5 µm. In the specification, the term "average particle diameter", unless otherwise specified, refers to a particle diameter (a D50 particle diameter or a median diameter) corresponding to 50 volume% of a cumulative volume from a fine particle side in a particle diameter distribution on the basis of volume measured by a particle diameter distribution measuring device based on a general laser diffraction and scattering method.
- A content of the inorganic oxide filler in the porous insulating layer is from 0 to 99 % by mass and preferably about from 80 to 90 % by mass. The case in which a large amount of inorganic oxide filler is added contributes heat resistance of the separator. In a case in which the amount of inorganic oxide filler as small as possible, the porous insulating layer is in close contact with the separator and the binding material is melted at the time of the internal short-circuit, which contributes to the improvement of safety. By selecting the kind or physical properties of the inorganic oxide filler, the electrolytic solution is decomposed at the time of overcharging of the battery and gas can thus be generated.
- The gas generating agent in the embodiment is not limited as long as it is a compound which can generate gas by being decomposed when exceeding the predetermined battery voltage (for example, in a case of an overcharged state of from 4.8 to 5.0 V). Preferably, as the compound which generates gas by being decomposed, at least one selected from the group consisting of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium hydrogencarbonate (LiHCO3), sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate, magnesium hydrogencarbonate, calcium hydrogencarbonate, 4,4'-oxybis(benzenesulfonylhydrazide) (OBSH), and azodicarbonamide (ADCA) can be used. A content of the gas generating agent in the porous insulating layer is from 0 to 10 % by mass and preferably about from 0.5 to 5 % by mass. In a case in which both the inorganic oxide filler and the gas generating agent are contained in the porous insulating layer, a content ratio of the gas generating agent to the inorganic oxide filler is preferably from 90:10 to 99:1.
- An example of a method of producing a porous insulating layer can include a production method in which a surface of the electrode mixture layer or the separator is coated with slurry obtained by dissolving or dispersing the binding material and an inorganic oxide filler and a gas generating agent, if desired, in water, an aprotic polar solvent represented by N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene carbonate, dimethyl formamide, or γ-butyrolactone, or a mixed liquid thereof, and drying is performed. By performing the drying after the slurry coating, the dispersion solvent (water or organic solvent) is volatilized and an opened-porous layer is formed. In this case, a size of a pore can be large by adding a small amount of inorganic oxide filler.
- In a case in which an aqueous binding material (for example, an aqueous dispersion PVDF, an aqueous dispersion PMMA, or the like) is used, cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) or biphenyl (BP) which is insoluble or hardly soluble in water can be mixed with lithium carbonate as a gas generating agent. Also, in this case, the pores are opened when the solvent is volatilized and the porous layer can be formed. Since the CHB or BP mixed in the porous layer is eluted in a case in which it is in contact with a carbonate-based electrolytic solution, this exerts the same action as in the case of adding the gas generating agent to the electrolytic solution.
- The size and amount of the pore can be adjusted by a slurry solid concentration or a drying rate. Preferably, the surface of the cathode mixture layer is coated with slurry in which an inorganic oxide filler, a gas generating agent, and a binding material are mixed at a ratio of from 76:4:20 to 94:5:1 and drying is performed, a porous insulating layer is formed on the surface of the cathode mixture layer, and then the porous insulating layer is compressed by a roll press to have a predetermined thickness.
- The cathode active material is not particularly limited as long as it is a material capable of charging and discharging lithium and may be a cathode active material usually used in a lithium ion secondary battery. Specifically, in addition to the oxide in which lithium (Li) and nickel (Ni) are contained as the constituent metal elements, the oxide encompasses an oxide containing at least one metal element (that is, transition metal element and/or typical metal element other than Li and Ni) other than lithium and nickel as a constituent metal element in an amount of equal to nickel or less than nickel based on the number of atoms. The metal element other than Li and Ni may be, for example, one or two or more metal elements selected from the group consisting of Co, Mn, Al, Cr, Fe, V, Mg, Ca, Na, Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, W, Cu, Zn, Ga, In, Sn, La, and Ce. These cathode active materials may be used singly, or in combination of two or more kinds thereof.
- In a preferred embodiment, an example of the cathode active material includes lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum-based oxide (NCA) represented by General Formula (1): LitNi1-x-yCoxAlyO2 (wherein 0.95 ≤ t ≤ 1.15, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3, 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.2, and x + y < 0.5). A specific example of NCA includes LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2.
- In another preferred embodiment, an example of the cathode active material includes lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-based oxide (NCM) represented by General Formula (2): LiNiaCobMncO2 (wherein 0 < a < 1, 0 < b < 1, 0 < c < 1, and a + b + c = 1).

Examples of a material of the binding agent for binding the electrode active material can include a fluororesin represented by PVDF, a polysaccharide polymer, and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), but are not limited thereto. In addition, a binding material contained in the porous insulating layer can be used. In this case, an electrode mixture slurry in which the electrode active material and the conductive auxiliary agent are dispersed in a solvent obtained by dissolving the above-mentioned binding material in a solvent is preferably formed.
- The solvent contained in the mixture slurry is also commonly used with the common solvent when preparing the binding material, and an aprotic polar solvent represented by N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene carbonate, dimethyl formamide, and γ-butyrolactone or a mixed liquid thereof can be selected.

- It is preferable that a method of producing the mixture layer includes a step of coating the mixture slurry onto the current collector and drying the mixture slurry, and then performing a pressure treatment to reduce porosity of the active material layer by using a mold press or a roll press.

- In the lithium ion secondary battery of the embodiment, the binding material in the porous insulating layer formed between the electrode and the separator is melted and the permeation of lithium ions is thus inhibited in response to an instantaneous temperature rise at the time of the internal short-circuit, such that an action and effect of suppressing the heat generation at the time of the internal short-circuit of the battery is exhibited. In the preferred embodiment, gas such as hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is generated from the porous insulating layer formed between the electrode and the separator in response to a gentle temperature rise at the time of overcharging, such that an operation of a pressure detection type current interrupt device (CID) is advantageously promoted.
- In the lithium ion secondary battery according to the invention, it is considered that a heat generation suppression action which exerts at the time of the internal short-circuit is caused by a melting point lowering action of the melting point lowering agent contained in the porous insulating layer. Hereinafter, typical specific examples are described.

In addition,
Fig. 3 shows a DSC chart of a powder sample (solid line) ofPVDF W# 7200 shown in Table 2 or a sample (dotted line) in whichPVDF W# 7200 and an electrolyte coexist, and a sample (first line from the top of Table 3) in which 25% PMMA is added toPVDF W# 7200. From the results shown inFig. 3 , it can be seen that the melting start temperature and the melting point of PVDF which is a binding component were apparently lowered by addition of the melting point lowering agent. - 920 g of NCM 523 (composition formula: LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2, manufactured by Umicore S.A.), 20 g of Super-P (conductive carbon, manufactured by TIMCAL Japan), and 20 g of KS-6 (scale-like graphite, manufactured by TIMREX) were mixed for 10 minutes, and then 100 g of N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) was further added and mixing was performed for 20 minutes.
- Next, 200 g of an 8%-PVDF solution (
PVDF W# 7200, manufactured by KUREHA CORPORATION is dissolved in NMP) was added and kneading was performed for 30 minutes, and 200 g of an 8%-PVDF solution was further added and kneading was performed for 30 minutes. Next, 100 g of an 8%-PVDF solution was added and kneading was performed for 30 minutes. Thereafter, 52 g of NMP was added for adjusting a viscosity and mixing was performed for 30 minutes, and then vacuum defoaming was performed for 30 minutes. Slurry having 62% solid content concentration was thus prepared. In the composition of the thus produced cathode, a mass ratio of NCM523:Super-P:KS-6:PVDF is 92:2:2:4. - A die coater was used for coating the slurry. One surface of an aluminum foil (thickness of 20 µm, width of 200 mm) was coated with the slurry and dried so that a coating weight after drying was 19.0 mg/cm2. Next, the opposite surface (uncoated surface) of the aluminum foil was coated with the slurry and dried so that, similarly, the coating weight was 19.0 mg/cm2. A cathode was produced by performing coating (38.0 mg/cm2) on the thus-obtained both surfaces (CA-1).
- 540 g of N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) was added to 860 g of lithium carbonate, 100 g of Super-P (conductive carbon, manufactured by TIMCAL Japan), 250 g of an 8%-PVDF solution (manufactured by KUREHA CORPORATION,
PVDF W# 7200 is dissolved in NMP), and 20 g of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and then mixing was performed for 30 minutes. - Next, 1,125 g of NMP was further added and mixing was performed for 60 minutes, and then vacuum defoaming was performed for 30 minutes, thereby preparing slurry having 32% solid content concentration.
- Similarly to the cathode mixture layer, a die coater was used for slurry coating. One surface of an aluminum foil (thickness of 20 µm, width of 200 mm) coated with the cathode mixture layer was coated with the slurry and dried so that a coating weight after drying was 2.0 mg/cm2. In addition, the other surface was also coated and dried. A cathode CB-1 coated with the overcoat layer (OC-1) was obtained.
- A 35 tons press machine was used. A gap between an upper roller and a lower roller was adjusted, and the cathode was compressed so that a press density was to be 2.95 ± 0.05 g/cm3.
- The electrode was slit to produce a cathode C-1 so that the cathode had an electrode distribution area (front surface: 56 mm x 334 mm, back surface: 56 mm x 408 mm) and a tab welding margin.
- 930 g of natural graphite and 10 g of Super-P were mixed for 10 minutes, and then 500 g of NMP was added and mixing was performed for 20 minutes. Next, 500 g of an 8%-PVDF solution (PVDF is dissolved in NMP) was added and kneaded for 30 minutes, and 250 g of an 8%-PVDF solution was further added and kneaded for 30 minutes. Thereafter, 32 g of NMP was added for adjusting a viscosity and mixed for 30 minutes, and then vacuum defoaming was performed for 30 minutes. Slurry having 45% solid content concentration was thus prepared. In the composition of the thus produced anode, a mass ratio of natural graphite:Super-P:PVDF is 93:1:6.
- The slurry was coated on one surface of the copper foil (thickness of 10 µm) and dried so that the coating weight after drying was to be 11.0 mg/cm2. Next, the slurry was coated on the opposite surface (uncoated surface) of the copper foil and dried so that, similarly, the coating weight was to be 11.0 mg/cm2. The thus-obtained anode roll having the coated both surfaces (22.0 mg/cm2) was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 120° C for 12 hours.
- A gap between an upper roller and a lower roller was adjusted, and the anode was compressed so that a press density was to be 1.45 ± 0.05 g/cm3.
- The electrode was slit to produce the anode A-1 having an electrode distribution area (front surface: 58 mm x 372 mm, back surface: 58 mm x 431 mm) and a tab welding margin.
- A cathode and an anode were produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the slurry preparation for the overcoat layer. The slurry for the overcoat layer was prepared by adding 250 g of an 8%-PVDF-HFP solution (manufactured by ARKEMA, FLEX2751 is dissolved in NMP) instead of PMMA used in Example 1 to prepare slurry for an overcoat layer (OC-2), and then coating and drying was performed by the same method as in Example 1, thereby a cathode CB-2 coated with the overcoat layer (OC-2).
- A cathode and an anode were produced in accordance with Example 1 except for the slurry preparation of the overcoat layer. 5 L planetary disperser was used for the slurry preparation for the overcoat layer. 540 g of N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) was added to 430 g of α-alumina (Al2O3) having a particle diameter of 2 µm and a specific surface area of 2 m2/g, 430 g of lithium carbonate, 100 g of Super-P (conductive carbon, manufactured by TIMCAL Japan), 250 g of an 8%-PVDF solution (manufactured by KUREHA CORPORATION,
PVDF W# 7200 is dissolved in NMP), and 250 g of an 8%-PVDF-HFP solution (manufactured by ARKEMA, FLEX2751 is dissolved in NMP), and then mixing was performed for 30 minutes. Next, 1,125 g of N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) was further added and mixing was performed for 60 minutes, and then vacuum defoaming was performed for 30 minutes, thereby preparing slurry (OC-3) having 32% solid content concentration. - Similarly to Example 1, a die coater was used for slurry coating. One surface of an aluminum foil (thickness of 20 µm, width of 200 mm) coated with the cathode mixture layer was coated with the slurry and dried so that a coating weight after drying was 2.0 mg/cm2. In addition, the other surface was also coated and dried. A cathode CB-3 coated with the overcoat layer (OC-3) was obtained.
- An aluminum tab was bonded to a margin portion of a cathode for a test (one surface coating, electrode surface of 30 mm x 30 mm) which is obtained by applying various specifications of the overcoat layer of Table 5 to the cathode (C-1) made in accordance with a cathode specification shown in Table 4 by using an ultrasonic bonding machine (CK1). A nickel tab was bonded to a Cu foil of 2.8 cm x 2.8 cm of an anode for a test to which an anode specification (A-1) of Table 4 was applied by using an ultrasonic bonding machine (AK1). AK1 was brought into contact with the applied surface of CK1 with a PE separator interposed therebetween and was sandwiched by a laminate of 5 cm x 5 cm, and then three sides thereof were heat-sealed. Before pouring an electrolytic solution, the obtained product was reduced-dried with a vacuum drier at 70°C for 12 hours. 300 µL of an electrolytic solution (1mol-LiPF6, EC/DEC = 3/7 (vol. ratio) was poured and then heat-sealed while being evacuated (K1).
